HMS Diamond was a Daring-class destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She was built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, and launched on 14 June 1950. This ship was John Brown & Company's first all-welded ship (as opposed to the rivetted construction more commonly used up to that time).[1]

Service history

In 1953 Diamond took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.[3] On 29 September 1953, she sustained severe bow damage in a collision with the cruiser Swiftsure during Exercise Mariner, held off the coast of Iceland.[4][5]

In 1956 Diamond was sent into Port Said to show the flag prior to the Franco-British assault, but the Egyptian government was unmoved and she sailed out to join the main attack force for the Suez landings at Port Said. She underwent a refit in 1959 at Chatham Dockyard. In 1964 she was involved in another collision, this time with the frigate Salisbury, in the English Channel during a naval demonstration.[6]

HMS Diamond leaving Portsmouth for the last time

In 1970, she became one of two Harbour Training Ships moored alongside Priddy's Hard jetty in Gosport and attached to the Marine Engineering School at nearby HMS Sultan and remained in this role until replaced by HMS Londonderry. For most of this time, her steam plant remained maintained and useable for watchkeeping familiarisation purposes. HMS Diamond was scrapped in Rainham in Kent in 1981.[1]

Perpajakan sebagai perbudakan

Para petani Mesir disita karena tidak membayar pajak selama Zaman Piramida. Perpajakan sebagai perbudakan adalah gagasan bahwa perpajakan menghasilkan masyarakat yang tidak bebas di mana individu dipaksa bekerja untuk memperkaya pemerintah dan penerima hadiah, bukan untuk keuntungan mereka sendiri. Sejarah Leo Tolstoy berpendapat bahwa perpajakan tenaga kerja adalah salah satu dari tiga tahap perbudakan (dua lainnya adalah perbudakan tanah dan perbudakan pribadi).[1] Referensi ^ Leo T...
